About my book
The book that I have selected to read for my Independent Reading Blog project is titled Looking for Alaska. It was written by the author, John Green. I chose to read this specific book for my project because personally, I'm a big fan of John Green's books overall and I heard it was such a lovely story that I'll make you cry. The main character of my book is Miles Halter. He's a young teen who's a junior at his new high school and who's obsessed with the last words of dead people. Based on what I've read so far, I believe theirs many possible themes for this book because it talks about the meaning of what friendship really means to them, what home looks like, it talks about life, mortality, and how the they make choices.Text Connections
When I look at all the characters and analyze their traits and personalities, I believe I am able to connect the most with both Miles, the main character, and Alaska, his secret lover whom he deeply has a crush on. I say this because they're both obsessed with books and they read a lot, which is something I truly love to do as well. Alaska likes mysteries and she is a mystery herself by the way she talks and acts and her obsessions with life and death. Miles on the other hand is struggling to find his way through life and his personal problems as well as his academic. Another connection would be to his other books he published since I enjoy reading about romance and mysteries and that's what all his novels are about.
